Transferring config data to a new install.

[Fish]

Just build my new 64 bit rig, and kept the old user/saved games/dcs Warthog folder for transfer.

 

However when i use the old input files, the game wont accept the yaw and pitch assignments for example, from my cougar (you know the way some assignment options greyed out). I have ch pedals, a saitek dash2 and tir. It looks like the game is seeing these as diifferent devices, or has jumbled them around. Is there a fool proof way to import or use a old profile in a new install. I have both the input config files, and a saved lua profile.

 

(don't want to go through configing all again, cause i got all me mfcd's and stuff done for me dash2.).

 

 

Cheers.

Ok what you can do is with the fresh install set up one or two things on each device. Then go to the users folder and note the names of these new lua files eg

 

Logitech Force 3D Pro USB {44BA6B60-B477-11df-8001-444553540000}.lua

 

Then rename your original lua files with these new names and overwrite the files in the users folder.

Yeah was just looking at how that works. Saw when i made a change, the old input config files remained but the new install made a new set. So what u said makes sense. Will give it a go.

 

Cheers Nate

 

EDIT

Worked like a charm.
